Gun Kai
Chapter 188 Choice Four
She and Li Chengjiu were from the same hometown and classmates. They were returning together to bring some things back.
The two were about the same age, but compared to Li Chengjiu's explosive temper, she was much gentler, always smiling, and amiable.
"The number one tech company in Bai Xing, ranked first in the Shuangxing world, it's normal to have this kind of strength. After all, capital is fluid, and many capitalists don't have much national affiliation; they go wherever it benefits them," replied a short-haired girl reading an e-reader.
She was also Li Chengjiu's classmate and roommate.
Also, an elite chosen for this trip—Xie Zhen.
Compared to Li Chengjiu and Fan Yufei, she was noticeably more attractive.
Fair skin, crimson lips, cold, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a delicate oval face.
Even with just short black hair, she still had a cool, pure beauty.
Your eyes narrowed, your expression fierce.
"Duel!"
"Arriving?" Yuan Fenyi's voice came from the microphone.
Slowly, the eight people stepped out of the train and looked around.
"This time, it's different."
"Just kidding." Xie Zhen smiled slightly. "How can we fight in front of my sister's friends? Quiet, inhale, deep breaths. Don't let people think your siblings can't take a joke."
Xie Zhen didn't reply, picked up her suitcase, and followed the crowd toward the exit.
Da da.
"Didn't he say he was coming? Why haven't I seen him?" Li Chengjiu wondered.
The eight people skipped the topic and talked about possible future assignments.
"My family said my brother would pick me up," Xie Zhen said quietly while in line.
"Your brother makes it easy for you," Li Cheng said calmly. "Aren't you a military school student? Why are you so nervous?"
Outside the station exit, a few people who had come to pick up others stood scattered on the smooth gray-white floor tiles.
"I have a lot of camouflage. You can't tell."
"Luckily, I read a lot of miscellaneous articles in my spare time." Xie Zhen closed her e-reader and looked at Li Chengjiu.
"Suiyang station has arrived. Passengers who need to get off the train, please prepare your luggage in advance."
Xie Zhen's phone was completely crushed into a wad of scrap.
"I'm at the exit, you should see me when you come out."
Xie Zhen fell silent.
"Anything you can't say?" Xie Zhen's eyes dimmed, like dead fish eyes.
"Are these your friends? Wouldn't it be bad to beat you up in front of your friends?"
She took it out and paused slightly when she saw the caller ID.
Goosebumps instantly broke out all over her body.
"Long time no see." Xie Zhenyi looked at his sister, grinning.
Anger +3.
"Mainly going back... there's a younger brother at home." After a while.
"Hello."
Xie Zhen took two steps back involuntarily.
"So, you think he might be handsome?" Xie Zhen was speechless.
Li Cheng and Xie Zhen's relationship was a little subtle.
"Okay."
She rubbed her face with both hands to clear her head.
"Zhenzhen, you know so much. Unlike me, I'm from the countryside, and I haven't heard of many things," Fan Yufei said enviously. She had a soft personality, which was why she got along with people like Li Chengjiu.
Bang.
"Yeah, Qianghua (strengthening) needles are so expensive. Your brother even has a special trainer to help him digest them. Even if he taught himself martial arts, he wouldn't be able to beat you." Li Chengjiu didn't believe it either.
"What's that expression?" Xie Zhen touched her face.
"Okay, okay, we're all family. Let's get out of the station first; we still have things in our hands." Li Chengjiu quickly mediated.
"Arrived."
But the eight people looked left and right and didn't see anyone who looked like Xie Zhenyi.
"Yeah. A very annoying guy." Xie Zhen's teeth gnashed as she thought of his fake smile.
The phone exploded.
"Can't say? It doesn't matter, we won't be staying for more than a few days anyway." Li Cheng's family was in the provincial capital and was just accompanying her two good friends along the way.
"Do you think I'm pretty?" Xie Zhen pointed at herself.
"You can't see it yourself right now; you're very nervous," Li Cheng said frankly.
Xie Zhen's phone rang.
"I don't know why... but I really think, he's strong!" Sparks had begun to flash in Xie Zhen's eyes.
"Because… that guy somehow learned a whole set of fighting skills on his own. I lost to him last time!"
Xie Zhen said through gritted teeth.
Whoosh!
Anger +3.
"But you're right."
"Answer it. It'd be good to see what your brother looks like, to make you so nervous," Li Cheng said.
Finally, they arrived at the high-speed rail station's arrival hall.
The woman's white hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were light gold. Just standing there gave people a chilling sense of being preyed upon by a top predator.
As the eight people chatted idly, time passed quickly.
During their degree studies, they could receive personal guidance from a mentor.
Li Cheng and Li Chengjiu exchanged glances, a trace of curiosity rising in their hearts. They followed closely behind.
Those with especially talented seeds worth cultivating could obtain a spot to pursue a graduate degree in Feiyi (Flying Suit) studies at the Self-Circulating City Elementary School.
"Tch, how is that possible? Axi is exaggerating too much. He's not a military school student, he's younger than you and me, and I heard you say before that his family's circumstances are ordinary. How could your brother beat you like that?" Li Cheng shook her head in disbelief.
The eight people followed the narrow hall to the exit, checked their luggage, and slowly walked out into the dim light outside.
"Yeah… it's different…" Xie Zhen nodded. "I've become a lot stronger than before, a lot… but…" She shuddered as she recalled being beaten that night, and after calculating the comparison of strength, speed, and technique, she was still a little apprehensive.
The high-speed rail's arrival announcement sounded.
"I'm at the exit; you should be able to see me when you come out."
The phone vibrated suddenly behind the eight people.
"Let's go. Get off the train." Li Cheng got up and took her luggage from the overhead rack.
"That was before," Li Cheng said. "This time, after you received your Feiyi, you got an extra level eight Qianghua (strengthening) injection. Your digestion rate is 89%, number one in the entire first level. So, even if you couldn't beat him before, now it's different."
They noticed that the person was not only well-dressed in a suit but was also followed by a beautiful woman dressed as a secretary.
Xie Zhenyi acted as if nothing had happened, chatting with Li Chengjiu about the dishes they were eating.
A tall, white-haired man, a full half-head taller than her, wearing a white suit and purple shirt, was looking down at her with a smile.
Xie Zhen paused and suddenly turned around.
Yuan Fenyi didn't laugh but just took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
She bit her lip, her muscles tensing and trembling.
Xie Zhen hung up the phone and walked forward.
"What? No confidence? If your brother is disobedient, just beat him up. Does such a small matter affect you for so long? This isn't like the Axi I know," Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.
"Brother? Real brother?" Li Chengjiu asked curiously.
"Isn't that good? I've always wanted a younger brother, but all I have at home are older brothers and sisters," Li Chengjiu said with a smile. "Speaking of which, is your brother handsome?"
"Xie Zhen... you're still so weak."
Yuan Fen and Xie Zhen felt similarly, and suddenly took a step back, involuntarily becoming alert. The exposed forearms of her white skin revealed goosebumps.
"Can't imagine it at all," Yuan Fenyi said with a laugh.
"Sister, you're not really joking, are you?"
Xie Zhen's fists clenched until they cracked, and she was about to lose control and punch that smiling face.
Following the large group, they took their luggage from the underground level and took the elevator straight to the surface.
Xie Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at the two people next to her sister.
"Let's find a place."
"That's right, welcome to Suiyang, two sisters.
"They... haven't seen him; they don't understand that feeling..." Xie Zhen said softly.
"That's not certain; I have a good eye," Yuan Fen retorted.
He looked at Xie Zhen.
The two had gradually grown closer because of their mutual admiration. When Xie Zhen had her spot snatched by that seventh generation, Li Cheng, originally an opponent, stood out and spoke righteously, earning Xie Zhen's friendship.
"Don't know; let me ask." Xie Zhen took out her phone again and dialed Xie Zhenyi's number.
She actually knew why she was nervous, but...
Buzz.
Li Chengjiu, on the other hand, didn't seem to sense any problem and was just carefully sizing up Yuan Fenyi.
"Isn't that good? I want to see what kind of guy can make Xie Zhen so nervous," Li Cheng laughed.
The phone in her hand creaked, almost about to break.
Official pre-Feiyi (Flying Suit) masters like them were usually assigned to domestic security forces across the country to assist in internal security operations.
"You must have a psychological shadow left from before, Axi," Li Cheng said. "So even if you've become stronger, you're still worried and nervous. Feifei is right, go back this time and beat him up fiercely; you'll feel much better, and the problem will be solved."
At this moment, the other two also turned around and saw Xie Zhenyi behind them.
"Uh... I think it's possible!" Li Chengjiu laughed awkwardly.
A sweet electronic female voice rang out.
The remaining two could see her hesitation.
If they were lucky and caught the eye of a good mentor, they could soar to great heights.
"Speaking of which, Ajiu, you're clearly going home, so why do you have that expression?"
The two had a competitive relationship. You were a transfer student who came later and were slightly stronger than Xie Zhen, but the gap wasn't large.
"They don't understand..." Xie Zhen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "He's not the kind of opponent to be taken lightly."
Xie Zhen pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.
"Find a place! I'm going to beat him flat!!" Xie Zhen's face flushed red, and she was on the verge of exploding.
"That was before. How dare a younger brother beat his older sister? That's too outrageous." Li Chengjiu reached out and grabbed the back of her hand. "Don't worry; we'll go back with you this time and see how arrogant your brother is. If he dares to be disrespectful, we'll beat him up one by one to help you vent your anger!"
"This way to the escalator; follow me."
This was her hometown, and she liked it very much. "The restaurant is already prepared; let's go grab something to eat first."
"They hadn't seen him before; they didn't understand that feeling..." Xie Zhen said quietly.
"It wasn't necessarily so; my eye is very accurate," Yuan Fen countered.
I looked at Xie Zhen.
The two had gradually become closer because of this.
